Sorry to hear of your tank whoes. I took the tank from my 56 to Tank
Re-New. They cleaned it inside and out and lined the inside with a
sealer. The outside came back with a tough black coat which I painted
silver to simulate the original look. Looked and worked fine. I just
put it back on the car, installed the sender and filled it with gas. No
problems.

Subject: [FWDLK] Gas tank woes
I have a sad, sad story. ~10 years ago I took my gas tank to a
local radiator shop to have it boiled out and sealed.
The short version – I was ripped off big time!
The long version – What I got was: the tank was somewhat cleaned, tank
sealer dribbled around the sending unit hole and a coat of black paint on the
outside on top of the rust.
Where I need help – I have cleaned off the paint, wire brushed the rusty
spots, patched the pin holes with a brass sheet and solder, leak checked the
tank (no leaks, yea) and discovered the rusty interior. Before using a
tank sealer, I want to clean out the inside of the tank. What is the
best method of rust removal inside a rusty tank? I have considered
vinegar, phosphoric acid (various solutions) , Hydrochloric (muriatic) acid,
evaporust, and electrolysis. Being an electrical guy, I am leaning
towards electrolysis. What has worked well for folks who have done more
of this than I have. Tips and cautions would be appreciated.
